Oaxaca is a sensory journey—a living gallery of color, craftsmanship, and ancestral rhythm. Every moment feels connected to the earth: the scent of roasting cacao in the markets, the hands that shape barro negro pottery, and the vibrant textiles woven in nearby pueblos. Days unfold slowly here—from tasting smoky mezcal at a family-run distillery to exploring the ancient ruins of Monte Albán, where Zapotec temples rise above the valley in timeless silence. Just beyond the city, the incredible sight of Hierve el Agua—mineral waterfalls suspended over turquoise pools—reminds you how nature and culture have long coexisted in this remarkable land. A few hours south, the landscape opens to the Pacific. Whether you decide to stay in Puerto Escondido, Zipolite, Huatulco, or—like me—in Mazunte, time softens. Mornings begin with ocean breezes and end with sunsets that set the cliffs aglow. Here, simplicity becomes luxury—snorkeling in clear coves, hiking jungle paths, and savoring fresh-caught fish at hidden seaside tables. Together, Oaxaca and the Oaxacan Coast offer a rare harmony—where creativity meets calm, and every sense is invited to listen, taste, and feel.

I relocated to Miami Beach in 1999 while I was still in my early 20s, and what an incredible time it has been to witness the changes and growth of this city. Fast forward 20 years, and I am still as excited to keep discovering this ever-changing piece of paradise. I cherish the natural beauty, iconic architecture and the vibrant energy that defines Miami Beach. It's a melting pot of diverse cultures, nationalities and beliefs, making it truly wonderful and dynamic.

One of my favorite modes of transportation is biking around the city and specially the beach boardwalk which stretches from the southernmost point of Miami Beach, known to the local as South of Fifth to the Bal Harbour jetty. Feeling the warm breeze on my face while soaking in a good dose of vitamin D is invigorating. Strolling down Lincoln Road is another joy, where the symphony of different languages creates a unique and captivating atmosphere.

In my younger days, I explored the city's nightlife, hopping from bar to bar and dancing the night away in its fabulous clubs. These days, I find equal joy in the daytime scene. Boating with friends or spending days at the beach or pool are fantastic ways to embrace the city's offerings. While having friends with boats is a perk. For visitors, I can recommend several companies for booking a fabulous day on the water—exploring islands, cruising while enjoying the skyline, snorkeling at cool spots or embarking on a day trip for fishing. Miami truly has it all, including incredible waterfront restaurants accessible by boat.
